0 - I am indifferent as well, but I remain cautious about integrating 3rd party build assistants into our ecosystem. Unlike using a library, this is something that is required for our IDEs to be compatible with. A change to an IDE or even JDK version could potentially cause the JAR to no longer work and for those IDEs to be non-functional until its fixed. At the end of the day, it's a helper that boilerplates some stuff for us, making our lives a little easier (which is good), but the tight coupling might not be.
I'd be curious to see what others feel about this approach. > On Mar 6, 2018, at 9:27 AM, Nate Cole <nc...@hortonworks.com> wrote: > > 0 - I’m indifferent to this, but would like to understand the need.
